THANK YOU so much for this WONDERFUL recipe!!! I have cooked many turkeys over the years, and this was amazing. I didn't change a thing (except add a couple pats of butter before it went in) and the turkey was INCREDIBLY MOIST!!! The flavor was perfect, not to mention the way it looked; the bird turned a golden brown all over, flecked with chopped basil and rosemary. It looked like something right out of Gourmet magazine! I used a 19 lb. bird and the amount of seasonings was perfect. I was not used to all the raving reviews I got!!! This recipe will stay in my family for years - thank you.:)

This seasoning is so delicious! I used an oven bag to roast my 18 pound turkey and it was done in just over 3 hrs. Perfect!

I made this rub with all dried ingredients but kept amounts the same as I was coatinga 20lb. turkey. I cooked it for about 2 hours breast side down and tented and then turned it and tented it it for another 2 hrs. Removed foil for last 45-55mins. Everyone LOVED the aroma, flavor, everything..it was easy and delicious!

This was my very first Turkey-I was very nervouse but found this recipe to be very easy! I added a little Tuscany Italian Dressing to give it a little **kick** under the skin and it worked nicely. Turkey came out super moist and very flavorful from the rub mix. I marinated it over night and then added salt and pepper over the bird before it went into the over. I tented the bird with foil and then removed the last 30 minutes to give it a nice golden brown appearance. My family was SHOCKED in how it looked and tasted :) It was a home run!

My first turkey and it was fabulous! Moist even without a brine, although I did use chicken stock instead of water and basted frequently.

Amazing! I made the turkey according to the recipe, although I did add a foil tent for the first 2 hours and then removed it the last hour so the skin browned nicely. Excellent flavor from the rosemary and herbs! This was only the second turkey I've ever made and it turned out great using this recipe. It was very easy separating the skin from the breast - so don't worry about that part! I highly recommend this recipe!

Will use this every time I cook a turkey. Putting the herbs under the skin was easier than I thought it would be. I prepared the herbs and spices, and let them soak in the garlic and oil from the night before. Thank you Star for a great recipe.

This turkey is delicious! I was too lazy to loosen the skin, so I just rubbed the oil/herb mixture all over the bird. After it had browned nicely, I put a foil tent over the breast. The flavor was amazing, and the meat was very moist! I also used a brine recipe that is in another review (the one with the orange juice, peppercorns, etc.) and I think it definitely added to the overall flavor. Make this turkey! It's so easy and tasty.

Let me start by saying that my family does not like turkey. They loved this one. I only used the olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper and baked it in an oven bag. it was the most flavorful and moist turkey we ever had. My husband even requested it for next year already and he is major anti- turkey!

I did this as my first attempt at a whole bird in 2008 and it was absolutely perfect. Aside from adding a foil tent I used this recipe straight up. Very easy to prep. The outcome was a delicious, moist turkey that wasn't overpowered by the seasoning.

The rosemary is a wonderful herb to use like this. Unlike the one review that I read that said it was overpowering,I disagree.I did though omit the Italian seasonig,and just used rosemary,basil & garlic. I did not put the herbs in oil either & just made a dry rub..then rubbed the turkey well with the oil & sprinkled some salt in & on the turkey .

As many people here have done, make minor adjustments to spices and herbs to suit your taste. I also use butter and oil. The key to happiness for me, esp with a turkey in this size range, is to use a roasting bag. I'm a traditionalist, but now that I've tried a bag will never go back to pan. Yes, the turkey will get brown!

This one is a must for your first turkey! Can't go wrong with this recipe and you'll WOW everyone... I did. (Thank you, Star) Try one of the turkey brine recipes to marinate the day before for that extra-tederness. I'll be making this again this year!
